Odd Lots: How Substack Creators Are Thinking About AI (Podcast)

Substack creators James van Geelen of Citrini Research, Sam Ro of The TKer, and journalist Jasmine Sun convened on May 28 for a live panel discussion hosted by Odd Lots. The discussion focused on how journalists and market analysts are navigating the current market environment, which they described as "incredibly strange and highly pressurized." A central theme of their conversation was the pervasive influence of artificial intelligence (AI) across all sectors, including the media industry. The panelists shared their perspectives on the challenges and opportunities presented by AI's rapid integration into their work and the broader economic landscape. They explored how AI is reshaping content creation, information dissemination, and market analysis, prompting a re-evaluation of traditional journalistic and analytical practices. The conversation aimed to provide insights into the evolving strategies employed by independent creators and journalists to maintain relevance and accuracy in an AI-driven world. The event, held during the Odd Lots New York live show, brought together prominent voices from the Substack platform to address these critical industry shifts.
